Smashwords book reviews by Helena Dariotis

    Excellent book; great read! I highly recommend this book. This book received detailed reviews but no one mentioned one of the most unusual things about the author's style. Ms. Gill threw a lot of rules about writing out the window and at first I started to think she was a really inexperienced writer but so much else was right, even great and her style was so compelling that I started to think maybe something very special was happening about how she was writing. Was it deliberate on her part or not? I can't imagine but it's certainly different and it really works. She weaves multipe stories together seamlessly and in the end she really delivers. What a great ending! And a perfect set-up for a sequel. Her characters are all interesting and she's great with realistic dialogue. Her horrible She-He villain is beyond creepy. January Moon is full of drama and has some great comedic relief and I can't wait for the next book. This book raises the bar for first time self published authors. Gill is major competition.
